Luke 5
New King James Version
Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(A)
5 So (B)it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to (C)hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He (D)sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, (E)“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught (F)nothing; nevertheless (G)at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, (H)“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were (I)astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. (J)From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, (K)they [a]forsook all and followed Him.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper(L)
12 (M)And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of (N)leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and [b]implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13 Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” (O)Immediately the leprosy left him. 14 (P)And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, (Q)just as Moses commanded.”
15 However, (R)the report went around concerning Him all the more; and (S)great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. 16 (T)So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and (U)prayed.
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic(V)
17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present [c]to heal them. 18 (W)Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst (X)before Jesus.
20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 (Y)And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? (Z)Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 But when Jesus (AA)perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, (AB)“I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
25 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, (AC)glorifying God. 26 And they were all amazed, and they (AD)glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”
Matthew the Tax Collector(AE)
27 (AF)After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, (AG)“Follow Me.” 28 So he left all, rose up, and (AH)followed Him.
29 (AI)Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And (AJ)there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. 30 [d]And their scribes and the Pharisees [e]complained against His disciples, saying, (AK)“Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 (AL)I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting(AM)
33 Then they said to Him, (AN)“Why[f] do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”
34 And He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the (AO)bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”
36 (AP)Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one [g]puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, [h]and both are preserved. 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, [i]immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is [j]better.’ ”

The First Disciples
5 (A)Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing at the edge of (B)the lake of Gennesaret; 2 and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake, and the fishermen, having gotten out of them, were washing their nets. 3 (C)And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the crowds from the boat. 4 And when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and (D)let down your nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered and said, “(E)Master, (F)we labored all night and caught nothing, but at Your word, I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, (G)they enclosed a great quantity of fish. And their nets began to break; 7 so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!” 9 For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken, 10 and [a]James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon, were also likewise amazed. And Jesus said to Simon, “(H)Do not fear, from now on you will be (I)catching men.” 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, (J)they left everything and followed Him.
Jesus Heals a Leper
12 (K)And it happened that while He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man [b]covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 13 And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy left him. 14 And He directed him to tell no one, “But go and (L)show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 15 But (M)the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But He Himself would often slip away [c]to the desolate regions and (N)pray.
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
17 And it happened that [d]one day He was teaching; and (O)there were some Pharisees and (P)teachers of the law sitting there, who had (Q)come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem, and (R)the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing. 18 (S)And behold, some men were carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down before Him. 19 But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on (T)the roof and let him down (U)through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. 20 And seeing their faith, He said, “[e]Friend, (V)your sins are forgiven you.” 21 The scribes and the Pharisees (W)began to reason, saying, “(X)Who is this who speaks blasphemies? (Y)Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” 22 But Jesus, [f]knowing their reasonings, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—He said to the (Z)paralytic—“I say to you, get up, and, picking up your stretcher, go home.” 25 And immediately he rose up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home (AA)glorifying God. 26 And astonishment seized them all and they began (AB)glorifying God; and they were filled (AC)with fear, saying, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
Levi and Sinners Called
27 (AD)And after that He went out and noticed a tax collector named [g](AE)Levi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And he (AF)left everything behind, and rose up and began to follow Him.
29 And (AG)Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of (AH)tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 (AI)And the Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and [h]sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “(AJ)It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
33 And they said to Him, “(AK)The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do likewise, but Yours eat and drink.” 34 And Jesus said to them, “Can you make the [i]attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 (AL)But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36 And He was also telling them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39 And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is good enough.’”
Lucas 5
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Una pesca milagrosa
5 Una vez Jesús estaba a la orilla del Lago de Galilea, y la gente se amontonó alrededor de él para escuchar el mensaje de Dios. 2 Jesús vio dos barcas en la playa. Estaban vacías porque los pescadores estaban lavando sus redes. 3 Una de esas barcas era de Simón Pedro. Jesús subió a ella y le pidió a Pedro que la alejara un poco de la orilla. Luego se sentó[a] en la barca, y desde allí comenzó a enseñar a la gente.
4 Cuando Jesús terminó de enseñarles, le dijo a Pedro:
—Lleva la barca a la parte honda del lago, y lanza las redes para pescar.
5 Pedro respondió:
—Maestro, toda la noche estuvimos trabajando muy duro y no pescamos nada. Pero, si tú lo mandas, voy a echar las redes.
6 Hicieron lo que Jesús les dijo, y fueron tantos los pescados que recogieron, que las redes estaban a punto de romperse. 7 Entonces hicieron señas a los compañeros de la otra barca, para que fueran enseguida a ayudarlos. Eran tantos los pescados que, entre todos, llenaron las dos barcas. Y las barcas estaban a punto de hundirse.
8 Al ver esto, Pedro se arrodilló delante de Jesús y le dijo:
—¡Señor, apártate de mí, porque soy un pecador!
9-10 Santiago y Juan, que eran hijos de Zebedeo, Pedro y todos los demás, estaban muy asombrados por la pesca tan abundante. Pero Jesús le dijo a Pedro:
—No tengas miedo. De hoy en adelante, en lugar de pescar peces, voy a enseñarte a ganar seguidores para mí.
11 Los pescadores llevaron las barcas a la orilla, dejaron todo lo que llevaban, y se fueron con Jesús.
Jesús sana a un hombre
12 Un día, Jesús estaba en un pueblo. De pronto llegó un hombre que estaba enfermo de lepra, se inclinó delante de Jesús hasta tocar el suelo con la frente, y le suplicó:
—Señor, yo sé que tú puedes sanarme.[b] ¿Quieres hacerlo?
13 Jesús extendió la mano, tocó al enfermo y le dijo:
—¡Sí quiero! ¡Queda sano!
De inmediato, el hombre quedó completamente sano. 14 Después, Jesús le dijo:
—No le digas a nadie lo que sucedió. Ve con el sacerdote y lleva la ofrenda que Moisés ordenó;[c] así los sacerdotes verán que ya no estás enfermo.
15 Jesús se hacía cada vez más famoso. Mucha gente se reunía para escuchar su mensaje, y otros venían para que él los sanara. 16 Pero Jesús siempre buscaba un lugar para estar solo y orar.
El hombre que no podía caminar
17 En cierta ocasión, Jesús estaba enseñando en una casa. Allí estaban sentados algunos fariseos y algunos maestros de la Ley. Habían venido de todos los pueblos de Galilea, de Judea, y de la ciudad de Jerusalén, para oír a Jesús.
Y como Jesús tenía el poder de Dios para sanar enfermos, 18 llegaron unas personas con una camilla, en la que llevaban a un hombre que no podía caminar. Querían poner al enfermo delante de Jesús, 19 pero no podían entrar en la casa porque en la entrada había mucha gente. Entonces subieron al techo[d] y abrieron allí un agujero. Por ese agujero bajaron al enfermo en la camilla, hasta ponerlo en medio de la gente, delante de Jesús.
20 Cuando Jesús vio la gran confianza que aquellos hombres tenían en él, le dijo al enfermo: «¡Amigo, te perdono tus pecados!»
21 Los maestros de la Ley y los fariseos pensaron: «¿Y éste quién se cree que es? ¡Qué barbaridades dice contra Dios! ¡Sólo Dios puede perdonar pecados!»
22 Jesús se dio cuenta de lo que estaban pensando, y les preguntó: «¿Por qué piensan así? 23 Díganme: ¿qué es más fácil? ¿Perdonar a este enfermo, o sanarlo? 24 Pues voy a demostrarles que yo, el Hijo del hombre, tengo autoridad aquí en la tierra para perdonar pecados.»
Entonces le dijo al hombre que no podía caminar: «Levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa.»
25 En ese mismo instante, y ante la mirada de todos, el hombre se levantó, tomó la camilla y se fue a su casa alabando a Dios.
26 Todos quedaron admirados y llenos de temor, y comenzaron a alabar a Dios diciendo: «¡Qué cosas tan maravillosas hemos visto hoy!»
Jesús llama a Mateo
27 Después de esto, Jesús se fue de aquel lugar. En el camino vio a un hombre llamado Mateo, que estaba cobrando impuestos para el gobierno de Roma. Jesús le dijo: «Sígueme».
28 Mateo se levantó, dejó todo lo que tenía, y lo siguió.
29 Ese mismo día, Mateo ofreció en su casa una gran fiesta en honor de Jesús. Allí estaban comiendo muchos cobradores de impuestos y otras personas. 30 Algunos fariseos y maestros de la Ley comenzaron a hablar contra los discípulos de Jesús, y les dijeron:
—¿Por qué comen ustedes con los cobradores de impuestos y con toda esta gente mala?
31 Jesús les respondió:
—Los que necesitan del médico son los enfermos, no los que están sanos. 32 Yo vine a invitar a los pecadores para que regresen a Dios, no a los que se creen buenos.
Jesús enseña sobre el ayuno
33 Algunas personas le dijeron a Jesús:
—Los discípulos de Juan el Bautista y los seguidores de los fariseos siempre dedican tiempo para ayunar y para orar. Tus discípulos, en cambio, nunca dejan de comer y de beber.
34 Jesús les respondió:
—Los invitados a una fiesta de bodas no ayunan mientras el novio está con ellos. 35 Pero llegará el momento en que se lleven al novio, y entonces los invitados ayunarán.
36 Jesús también les puso esta comparación:
«Si un vestido viejo se rompe, nadie corta un pedazo de un vestido nuevo para remendar el viejo. Si lo hace, echa a perder el vestido nuevo. Además, el remiendo nuevo se verá feo en el vestido viejo.
37 »Tampoco se echa vino nuevo en recipientes viejos porque, cuando el vino nuevo fermente, hará que reviente el cuero viejo. Entonces se perderá el vino nuevo, y los recipientes se destruirán. 38 Por eso, hay que echar vino nuevo en recipientes de cuero nuevo.
39 »Además, si una persona prueba el vino viejo, ya no quiere beber vino nuevo, porque habrá aprendido que el viejo es mejor.»

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The First Disciples
5 As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear God’s word,(A) he was standing by Lake Gennesaret.[a](B) 2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats,(C) which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then he sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.’(D)
5 ‘Master,’(E) Simon replied, ‘we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I’ll let down the nets.’[b]
6 When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets[c] began to tear. 7 So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, ‘Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord! ’(F) 9 For he and all those with him were amazed(G) at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners.
‘Don’t be afraid,’(H) Jesus told Simon. ‘From now on you will be catching people.’(I) 11 Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed him.(J)
A Man Cleansed
12 While he was in one of the towns, a man was there who had leprosy[d] all over him.(K) He saw Jesus, fell face down, and begged him, ‘Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.’
13 Reaching out his hand, Jesus touched him,(L) saying, ‘I am willing; be made clean,’ and immediately the leprosy left him. 14 Then he ordered him to tell no one:(M) ‘But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them.’
15 But the news[e] about him spread even more, and large crowds would come together to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 Yet he often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.(N)
The Son of Man Forgives and Heals
17 On one of those days while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law(O) were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea, and also from Jerusalem. And the Lord’s power to heal was in him.(P) 18 Just then some men came,(Q) carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralysed. They tried to bring him in and set him down before him. 19 Since they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the roof tiles into the middle of the crowd before Jesus.
20 Seeing their faith he said, ‘Friend,[f] your sins are forgiven.’
21 Then the scribes and the Pharisees(R) began to think to themselves, ‘Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone? ’(S)
22 But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus replied to them, ‘Why are you thinking this in your hearts?[g] 23 Which is easier: to say, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to say, “Get up and walk”? 24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’ – he told the paralysed man, ‘I tell you: Get up, take your stretcher, and go home.’
25 Immediately he got up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.(T) 26 Then everyone was astounded, and they were giving glory to God. And they were filled with awe(U) and said, ‘We have seen incredible things today.’
The Call of Levi
27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office,(V) and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ 28 So, leaving everything behind, he got up and began to follow him.
29 Then Levi hosted a grand banquet for him at his house. Now there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining at the table with them.(W) 30 But the Pharisees and their scribes(X) were complaining to his disciples, ‘Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? ’
31 Jesus replied to them, ‘It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’
A Question about Fasting
33 Then they said to him, ‘John’s disciples fast often and say prayers, and those of the Pharisees do the same, but yours eat and drink.’
34 Jesus said to them, ‘You can’t make the wedding guests fast while the groom is with them, can you? 35 But the time[h] will come(Y) when the groom will be taken away from them – then they will fast in those days.’
36 He also told them a parable: ‘No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. Otherwise, not only will he tear the new, but also the piece from the new garment will not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, it will spill, and the skins will be ruined. 38 No, new wine is put into fresh wineskins.[i] 39 And no one, after drinking old wine, wants new, because he says, “The old is better.” ’[j]
